A powerful earthquake of 7.5 hit Drake Passage on Friday. The US Geology Survey (USGS) initially recorded the earthquake in 8 magnitude, but then lowered its degree.

Although the US tsunami alarm system could not give a warning, Chile’s navy hydrography and the ochinographic service gave a tsunami measures for Antarctica regions.

Different reports of changing size

The German Local Research Center recorded 7.1 magnitude, whereas the Indian National Seismology Center (NCS) reported 7.4 size at a depth of 36 kilometers. The earthquake took place at 7:46 am.

Seismic activity zone

The Drake passage is a tectonic area that connects the southwest and southeast parts of the Atlantic and Southeast Pacific Oceans, respectively. The last earthquake follows weeks from the Russia’s hitting the Far East of Russia, another independent and strong size, which triggered the tsunami waves to descend to Japan and Alaska and resulted in widespread pacific warnings.
